Hello,<\/p>\n

I have a plate lying on 4 axis. I have modelized each joint with two spherical joints and retrieved the torque at the base plate. My issue is that the torque is the same whether the joitn is spherical or fixed. <\/p>\n

Because I am using the same edge twice, i have the following warning : “Two or more remote boundary conditions are sharing a common face, edge, or vertex.   This behavior can cause solver overconstraint and is not recommended, please check results carefully.  You may select the offending object and\/or geometry via RMB on this warning in the Messages window.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

How can i setup my joint so it behaves as an actual spherical joint ?<\/p>\n

I am using ANSYS 17.0<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n
